Tim Kring on the Heroes Volume 2 finale

Heroes’ creator Tim Kring spoke with TV Guide about the shockers of this season’s finale. Top of the list for what we fans want to know -

What happens in Volume 3?

Volume 3 is titled “Villains” and we know Sylar is definitely back and badder than ever.

“Sylar getting his power back does not bode well for our heroes,” says Kring, who admits there is one upside to the writers’ strike: Originally, Quinto was not going to be available for much of Volume 3 because of his commitment to the new Star Trek film. Now, with the strike dragging on, he’ll likely be done playing young Spock by the time Heroes returns to production.

But he is NOT the only one. The Company of Bob and Angela, and who knows how many more, is still up and running… yeah, I’d put Angela Petrelli in with that cohort of villains. No doubt she knew something of her son’s shooting.

Are Niki, Nathan and Adam really dead ?

Nathan and Niki’s fates are in the hands of the writers, it seems. Their lives are “up in the air and will be determined when we come back after the strike,” Kring says. “Things are fairly dire for them both.”

As for Adam? It was poetic justice to bury him with Kaito.

“We’ve given the audience no reason to believe that Adam can figure a way to get out of there. The fact that he can live forever makes this the most gruesome of internments. If this happened to any of us, at least we’d know we’d soon have the mercy of death. Not here.”

But who knows if Adam will stay buried? He has a whole eternity to waste and wait.
